LAGAR De Bezana Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Image result for lagar de bezana cabernet sauvignon 2015
Nice dark cranberry jelly hue with aromas of astringent spiced red apple, eucalyptus, and ripe black berry

Palate--Nicely structured, with a beam of solid dark berry fruit, savory spices and a hint of pie spice with a finish that lingers pleasantly.

Chile knows how to do Cabernet Sauvignon.  If you doubt that you haven't tried Concha Y Toro's Don Melchor or Casa Lapostelle's  Clos Apalta and a host of others.  This happens to be a great value at $10 although the normal price seems to be around double that. 

Don't be a snob and give Chilean Cabs a try, and I mean put out some cash for the good ones and you'll be impressed!  Raise a glass to this value Cab.!

Barrel Heist Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

  Lighter hued cranberry color with aromas of sweet red berries and dried red fruit with a touch of spice.      Palate--Fruit forward, easy to quaff with soft tannins, and a simple pleasant all around red.  Just don't confuse this with a "real" cabernet Sauvignon.  At $7 (Trader Joe's) let's get real... It's better than two buck chuck!

Emma Reichart Gewürztraminer 2020

*Label is for their Riesling not their Gewurztraminer Pale straw hue with loads of sweet aromas consisting of vanilla, citrus, tropical fruit with a lime splash. Palate--mouth watering acid, mouth filling tropical fruit, lime base, with sweet-tart freshness  This $10 Gewürztraminer literally "Spicy Traminer" is one of my favorite German grapes and under appreciated much in the way German Riesling is. If you can get past the name, it's a lovely wine that pairs with Asian foods, spicy foods, or all by itself so raise a glass!
